Hokkai-engi (Skt. Dharma-dhatu). The realm of the Dharma. All things interpenetrate each other and exist without any hindrance. They do not exist independently. Therefore, the cause/condition/effect of all phenomena and things are affected by each other. This theory is one of the key concepts of the Kegon school of Buddhism.
